frostiki, several members of my family had been there on a couple of different occasions and their opinion was generally negative. But I talked them into going again anyway, and I wish I hadn't. Found this review. Mostly it's positive talking about the food (we didn't have any entrees so I can't comment on them). It says nothing really about the quality of the drinks, not that I'd trust most reviewers on drink quality. But at the bottom of the review she says "Service was poor. Our server was unfamiliar with both the drink and food menus, conveyed incorrect information, and improperly identified items that came to the table." This was our experience. When I ordered a Tiki Puka Puka, the waitress said "A what? Where is it on the menu?" She heard me. She just didn't know what it was. The problem with the area is there just isn't a stable pool of professional wait staff. Most servers are 20-somethings who will be there one month, gone the next. Look at the staff at the Mai-Kai or Atlanta Vic's. Many have been there for years.

I'm glad your experience was good though. Wish I could say the same.
